While it maybe a worthwhile exercise, If you can not understand what do, explaining it in a different languge does not sound like it could help. Since the OP has left We will never know what would have helped. It will become one of lifes eternal misteries. I'd disagree with the basic notion you present here, Neil. While the inverse is possibly true, i.e, if you cannot code it in ASM learning 'C' won't help, that is, adding a layer of fog won't help. The fact that the code the O/P provided is completely commentless, though quite incomplete, suggests he didn't know what he was trying to do anyway. The problem lies in exactly what you say, namely, "explaining it in a different languge," as you put it, is not programming. Programming a computer is not just "explaining it," but, rather, it's precisely specifying it. It's far too easy to gloss over an error assuming the compiler does what you guess it does. It's already been stated many times by persons much more familiar than I, that, if you can't program it in ASM, you can't program it. RE |
